Application 166 Jim; 4, 1908. serial n. 436,660.

To all whoa Lit may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBER'I" A. (From, a citizen of the United States, residing at Union Hill, in the county of Kankakeq.

State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Incubators;

and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description .of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains'to make and use the same. I

This invention relates to incubators and has as its primary object to providea device of this character in which the eggs will be kept at a constant temperature and will not be subjected to such fluctuation in temperature as occurs in the ordinary heated air incubators.

In carrying out my invention, I provide a heater and support within this heater a tank or hot-water receptacle and float upon the surface of the water within the receptacle an egg tray upon which the e gs to be being immessed in the water to a sufiicient degree to hatch 1:! are disposed the tray insure an even temperature.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the incubator embodied in my invention, Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view therethrough, Fig. 3

is a detail perspective View of the egg supporting float of the device.

As shown in the drawings, the lncubator embodying my invention com rises aheater which is comprised of side wa "s 5, end walls 6, and a bottom 7. The said heater is supheaterto admit of access bring had to the space between the said grate and the said bottom of the heater'it being understood that the fuel to be burned inthe heater is placed upon the said bottom and beneath with the water -e the grate 9 there being a flue or smoke-stack 11 leading from the other end of the said.

water container 12 which is of rectangular construction and in which water is to .be poured prior to the insertion of the eggs in the incubator. The egg su port of the in.- cubator is in the form of a oat which is of hollow rectangular construction and .com

prises sides 13 a bottom 14 and a'top 15 which latter is formed with a number 'of egg receiving de ressions 16. The said support is dispose loosely within the hotwater container'12 and is nearly of the same dimensions itbeing floated upon the surface of water within the said container and bein adapted to rise, and fall with the water leve within the said. container. Owing to the fact that the eg su port does rise and fall vei: it will be understood that the quantity of water within the container within certain limits-,in no. way affects the, temperature, the degree being a constant one.

What is claimed is: 1. Anincubator comprising a hot-water container and an egg supporting member disposed within the container and constructed and arranged to rise and fall with I a heater, a hot-Water container arranger within the heater, and an egg supporting float received in the container.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
